April Kennedy Howell [13] is one of June's younger sisters. She is the second oldest in the family, and has one younger sister. She gets along with most people, and is a huge advocate for swimming. She is quiet personality and is usually timid but in the water or during swim meets the shyness disappears and her competitive side shines. She is in the top ten percent of her class, and excells at the butterfly stroke.

Sage Olivia McAllister (13) is April's best friend. She is very artsy, girly and outgoing. She's not super bright like April, but has popularity and humor smarts. Sage is the kind of person that everyone gravitates toward, honest (sometimes brutally so), forgiving, funny, all-smiles all the time. Sage and April have been almost inseparable since they met in preschool.

Thomas Xavier McAllister [18] is one of Sage's older siblings, a brother. He plays varsity baseball, and his life revolves around baseball. He always has tournaments on the weekends and during the week its a game or practice. He barely sees his sister except at school, but even then he is caught up with friends and all. He is single, and currently does not have room for a girlfriend. He is excited for prom this year, and is afraid he might have to miss it because championships are the same day.

Tess Abigail Francesco {17} is the water girl for Thomas' baseball team. She is known for "getting with" all the guys on the team, even the coach, but she has yet to get with Thomas because he refuses, and that only makes her like him more. Though she does sleep around, on the inside she isn't happy with her lifestyle. She grew up middle class, but her parents are divorced and she has a lot of siblings so she doesn't get attention at home. She has a rough relationship with her dad, which is why she turns to guys.

Reese Adalyn Francesco [22] is the eldest sister of Tess. She has been dating the same guy since high school (unlike her younger sister), and hasn't let the family troubles get in the way of her success. She got a full ride scholarship to university in Oregon and is working on a masters degree in the career field of architect. she is distant from the family because she doesn't want to end up like her parents, having kids in high school and not finishing college and having debt. she moved out as soon as she could, and just wishes the best for her siblings.

Finn Abel Francesco [16] is the younger half-brother of Reese and Tess. He's their half-brother from their father's side of the family. Finn's mother is the second wife of the children's father, but Finn was born out of wedlock and from the affair that caused his elder half-sisters' parents divorce. Finn doesn't like much of what goes down in his home and feels mighty guilty about breaking up his elder sisters' parents marriage. Finn's got the closest relationship to Reese and he avoids Tess like the plague at school. In fact, for the past two years Finn has been living with Reese as there aren't enough rooms at home for him and he doesn't feel comfortable at home anymore. Seeing as he's got one other older half-sibling from his dad's first marriage, and then he's got seven younger siblings ranging from ages 14-newborn from his parents. Finn's hoping to attend University of Oregon like Reese and works really hard in school to get good grades so he may also earn a scholarship. Finn not only looks up to Reese, but her boyfriend who he's known since he was nine years of age and who Finn sees more as a father figure then his own father.

Aislinn Isabella Mayer (10) is Darcy's only sibling. They are very close, but Aislinn is nothing like her sister. She is shy and often eats by herself. Aislinn is always lost in her own little world, one she's created in her minds with fantastical elements and talking tigers and people who understand her. Aislinn is teased regularly for her above-average intelligence and for being the first one the teacher calls on every time. Aislinn sometimes wishes she could be more like Darcy, but she likes her little world.

Kyler Birch Duron-Collins [12] takes particular interest in Ainslinn. She is in his advanced math class, and it really interests him how a person can be so distraught and happy with sitting by themselves.
